Overview
Secret Bay is a unique muck diving site in Puerto Galera, Philippines, prized by underwater photographers for its abundance of rare macro life. The gently sloping sandy bottom, seagrass patches, and scattered debris provide habitat for frogfish, nudibranchs, seahorses, pipefish, octopus, shrimp, and other fascinating critters. With shallow depths, calm conditions, and excellent opportunities for close-up photography, Secret Bay offers a completely different experience from Puerto Galera’s coral reefs and is a favorite among macro enthusiasts.
